Situated in the lea of St Marys Church, Abbotsury, the home is convenient for Newton Abbot’s vibrant town centre approximately 300m away.

A rare feature for this type of property is a private driveway providing parking to the side of the house and there is a delightful walled garden at the rear with lawn and deck ideal for that summer barbeque.

The immaculately interior offers extensive accommodation with 4 double bedrooms, 2 bay windowed reception rooms and a superb L shaped dining room / kitchen. With an asking price of £350,000 the sole agents Coast and Country recommend an early viewing.

Great value detached home open to view.

FABULOUS PROPERTIES IN TORBAY

 

Award winning estate agents Coast and Country are very pleased to offer for sale two fantastic properties in great locations. The first is on Southfield Avenue in Preston. This is a level area on the outskirts of Paignton, close to shops and other facilities and not far from the attractive beach and promenade. By contrast the second property  is at Higher Compton Barton, set in an idyllic rural location and surrounded by breath taking countryside. It does however offer easy access to Torquay and the new South Devon Highway.

Both of these properties will appeal to discerning buyers looking in the £300,000-£400,000 price range. Number 33a Southfield Avenue has an asking price of £400,000. It is a stunning 4 bedroom modern family home and unlike many modern properties this particular property offers very spacious and versatile living space including; entry level hallway, cloakroom / W.C, family room with balcony off and stunning kitchen / diner, garden level (great potential as an annexe) hallway, lounge, bedroom with en suite shower room and utility and on the second floor, 3 further bedrooms (the master with en suite off) and a family bathroom. The garden is very neatly presented and features a 20ft x 10ft workshop. To the front of the property there is a garage and off road parking. We think this contemporary home is a real stunner and not to be missed.

 

 

The Linny, Higher Compton Barton in Marldon in contrast is a characterful home with a number of original features.   Formed by the sympathetic conversion of part of a “ new model farm” in 1998 the property on offer comprises; entrance hallway, contemporary open plan kitchen and sitting room and a versatile dining room / 3rd bedroom, first floor master bedroom with en suite shower room, 2nd bedroom and a bathroom. The garden is located to the rear of the property and parking is provided by way of a car port and parking space. If you are looking for a home with wow factor at a reasonable price in a quiet yet convenient semi-rural location, look no further.

Is 2017 The Right Time to Buy Your First Home or Move On?

 

In 2015 house prices in Newton Abbot rose on average around 4.5%, broadly in line with the previous year. The number of resale homes which changed hands over the course of the year was similar to the previous year.  A good year overall for the local property market with the prospect of another good year to come. The amount of new homes being built and worries over Brexit seem to have had little effect on sales of pre-owned property. On the other hand changes in SDLT (stamp duty) and the tax treatment of mortgage interest on buy to let properties does appear to have cooled the amateur investor market. Professional investors however still seem keen to buy and accept the additional costs associated with purchase and finding ways around the tax treatment on interest, by for instance the use of limited companies. There also seems to be demand for larger properties which can be divided into high end multi occupancy home.

Ashley Mathews of Coast and Country estate agents reported that the number of new enquiries from sellers peaked in June and October. Sales peaked through October and November leading to numerous completions in December. It was great to help so many people move to their new homes in the run up to Christmas. As the year progressed he found that the number of sales above £500,000 increased and he considers this very positive when considering the outlook for 2017. The average property price in TQ12 is currently £249,000 and he forecasts that this will increase by a further 4% in 2017 to £260,000 as demand for quality properties still outstrips supply. In particular he foresees growth in sale of luxury homes. Buyers with deeper pockets seem to have been sitting on the fence for the past couple of years but now seem to be motivated to take the plunge. He puts this in part down to the slowing of price increases in the London market. London sellers are realising their assets and buying in the South West where their money goes much further. Coast and Country are able to tap into this market utilising their network of associated offices inside the M25 and have already agreed one sale at over £750,000 this year.

 

 

Ashley noted that an interesting feature of the current market was the first time buyers. Some are older than you would traditionally imagine, due to the need to save up deposits. Others with the assistance of older family members are buying more substantial properties with larger deposits than you would expect. These buyers are often seeking properties from £100,000 up to £240,000 and provide an excellent starting point for chains allowing others to move on. 

When asked if 2017 is the right time to buy your first home or move up the ladder Ashley confirmed that with the right advice and planning he believes it is. There is plenty of activity in the market and mortgage rates remain low. His opinion that in the medium term mortgage rates will rise making the cost of home ownership more expensive. Taking advantage of long term fixed rates and buying now before house prices rise further may well leave you sitting pretty in the home you want. Delaying may mean paying more and a higher mortgage rate.

He advised that the first step on the road to moving is establishing the value of your current home. Taking advice on presentation and whether to carry out works which could add value at an early stage may also lead to maximising the amount you put in the bank. Coast and Country are there to help even if your plan to sell is not imminent. They are happy to meet with you, offer opinion on the current value of your home and the best way to market it. They can also advise on how to maximise its appeal and help put a plan in place to get you moved at the best time for you. All at no cost to you and without obligation. They invite you to take your first step today and phone for an appointment on 01626 366966. They look forward to meeting you and putting their experience and local knowledge at your disposal.
